Names of fish and hooks.

Our company has a fishing hook standard called "Mutsu" hook. However, this is not a fishing hook for catching the fish called "Mutsu." (Maybe it's not impossible to use, though.) Our company has a fishing hook standard called "Kue" hook. Originally it was for grouper, but recently the aforementioned "Mutsu" hook has been used. In recent years, it has been used especially in Yamaguchi and northern Kyushu, and is said to be a fishing hook for "ara." I was confused at first ^^; In Kyushu, "kue" is pronounced "ara." Does this remind anyone of the manga "Oishinbo"? It's a story about confusing "Kue nabe" with "Ara nabe", and that happened with a fishing hook @@; Nowadays, that's no longer the case. By the way, you can catch tuna by fishing for bonito. Well, this is a line fishing method for bonito, and they catch albacore (dragonfly) at the right time of year.
